Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
To form a coherent paragraph, the sentences should follow a logical sequence about psychotherapy. Sentence A introduces psychotherapy as a voluntary relationship, making it a suitable opener. Sentence C explains the purpose of this relationship, logically following A. Sentence B elaborates on how the relationship builds trust, connecting to C. Sentence D describes the goals of psychotherapies, expanding on the purpose. Sentence E discusses broader changes needed, serving as a concluding point.
Thus, the order A-C-B-D-E is coherent.
Option 4 (ACBDE) matches this sequence.
